Sustainability Drinks provides an opportunity to meet other people interested in creating a more sustainable world, exchange ideas and hear different perspectives about the social and environmental challenges we face. Attendees meet a wide range of passionate people who are interested in making a positive difference.

At Sustainability Drinks you buy your own drinks (we will provide some complimentary nibbles) and the atmosphere enables people to introduce themselves and feel comfortable with meeting new people and exchanging ideas.

An open invitation is extended to all who are “passionate about sustainability” to come and mingle with like minded people and listen to a speaker share their sustainability story.

Please RSVP for each event – it’s important – whilst the event is organised by volunteers, we organise this event to a professional standard, including pre-printing formal nametags for all who register to attend. Space is limited, and we cannot guarantee a place for you if you do not RSVP. All are welcome, and we encourage you to share this invitation amongst your personal and professional networks. Your friends and colleagues may also be interested to attend, so be sure to spread the word!
